LyX ⇒ Title without number but in the index

[Gabriel]

Hi,
I use the "section*" type to get titles without numbers. But i want them to be in the index, do you know how to do?

[gmedina]

Use the \addcontentsline command just after the \section* command as the following example shows

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section*{First section}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{First section}
Some text.
\section*{Second section}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Second section}
Some more text.
\end{document}

Thank you but i'm totally new on Latex and Lyx, so i don't know where to add the code you gave me.
In the code view, i can't edit the Latex code.

In LyX, LaTeX code is always inserted via ERT (which stands for Evil Red Text). So, make a section* and then click on the ERT butten and then type the \addtocontentsline-command as written above.

Hi Gabriel,

do you want every section without number? I'm asking because you mentioned several titles.
In that case you can use \section and decrease the secnumdepth-counter:

Code: Select all

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}

hey! i tried using the \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{First section}
there was no number infront of the section, however it did have a number in the contentlist:

The index should have been
nomenclature
1 introduction
2 methodology

what i now have is however
1 nomenclature
2 introduction
even though the introductionsection is numbered 1 in the actual text..

any tips on this?
